Forgot to post yesterday, today is rehash of Monday
Yeah, pretty much like the title said.
I was watching the Olympics last night and watched the Mens Individual Gymnastic event. Paul Hamm won the gold by 0.012 of a point. It was incredibly close. The look on his face when he was told he won the gold was absolutely priceless (cue MasterCard commercial here ... wait a minute, the Olympics are a VISA sponsored event, what's going on here? I call foul!) He didn't believe his coach/trainer guy when they told him.
Not to sound too sappy, but it was really a testament to never give up. He was in first place, got knocked to 12th and then battled back to win it (with an amazing high-bar routine, or so they tell me, I just noticed that he caught the bar and didn't fall down when he dismounted.)
Oh, yeah, I found out from Lacey that the trampoline is the third division of the olympics and was added in 2000. Isn't that interesting?

Know what I noticed? THAT GOAL-BALL IS AN OLYMPIC SPORT!!! What the hell??? I've never even seen a goal-ball team before (outside of my 6th grade gym class). I wanna see olympic ultimate frisbee!
"Feel the rythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up it's bob-sled time! COOL RUNNINGS!"
We saw that on TV the other day and had NO CLUE what the hell it was. I love Bravo. They have rights to show the olympics LIVE, so they show them when they happen over in Greece. Cept they aren't allowed to show anything "important" so we get to see Goal-Ball and Badminton. It's pretty freakin awesome.
